Long Term Prognosis

Kleine-Levin syndrome is characterized by periodic hypersomnia, hyperphagia, sexual disinhibitions and behavioral disturbances. The prognosis is generally benign, with normal cognitive and social functions after the episodes. We describe a typical case of Kleine-Levin syndrome associated with apparent academic decline, neuropsychological sequelae and personality alterations after the second episode of the illness. Further research in the natural history of Kleine-Levin syndrome is needed, for example, to determine whether early intervention would improve long-term prognosis.

Typical Antipsychotics

Rabbit syndrome (RS) is an antipsychoticinduced rhythmic motion of the mouth/lips resembling the chewing movements of a rabbit. The movement consists of a vertical-only motion, at about 5 Hz, with no involvement of the tongue. Long-term exposure to typical antipsychotics has clearly been associated with RS, but little is known of the risk of RS due to exposure to newer atypical antipsychotics. There have been isolated reports of RS in patients treated with the atypical agents risperidone, aripiprazole, olanzapine, and clozapine. We present the case history of a 44-year old female patient treated for paranoid schizophrenia for 22 years and RS during her last 10-month clozapine treatment. Background information from the literature is also discussed.

AbstractParanoid schizophrenia is a chronic, psychotic disorder which can be treated with long-acting injectable (LAI) antipsychotic drugs. There are risperidone (Risperdal Consta®), olanzapine (Zypadhera®), paliperidone (Xepilon®) and aripiprazole (Abilify Maintena®) currently available.The aim of this study was to present a case history of the patient to whom monthly injections of aripiprazole effectively prevented both relapses of psychotic symptoms and hospitalizations.Case report: A 55-year-old male patient with a 13-year history of paranoid schizophrenia has been effectively treated with aripiprazole (LAI) (400mg, every 4 weeks). During the last 8 years of treatment his mental state has been stabilized, without any acute psychotic symptoms and without any anxiety, or violent behaviours. Moreover, there have been no psychotic symptoms, or suicidal thoughts, or tendencies recordered. Therefore, no hospitalization has been required. However, despite the treatment, negative symptoms such as blunted affect, cognitive dysfunction and social withdrawal have been sustained.Discussion: The available articles on aripiprazole (LAI) treatment indicate that it was effective in reducing the positive and negative symptoms of schizophrenia, as well as reducing the frequency and duration of hospitalization. However, the case report of a patient who has not had relapses of psychotic symptoms and suicidal thoughts and has not been hospitalized during 8 years of treatment with aripiprazole (LAI) has not yet been reported.Conclusions: Regular, long-term injections of aripiprazole (LAI) are very effective at preventing positive symptoms of schizophrenia development and preventing both suicidal thoughts and hospitalizations. Therefore, treatment with this drug in everyday practice should be increased.

Background: Cervical cancer metastasizes commonly to the bone, lungs, liver and the supraclavicular lymph nodes. Rare sites of metastasis the brain, breast, paraspinal muscles, duodenum and heart have been reported. Case report: A 53-year-old postmenopausal woman presented to our facility with a one-month history of vaginal bleeding. She was found to have an exophytic cervical mass on pelvic examination. She was managed as a case of stage IIIB cervical cancer. Histology revealed Squamous Cell Carcinoma type. She had radiotherapy and was symptoms free. She represented 3 months later with visual disturbance, headache and vomiting. She was found to have metastatic lesion to her brain. She survived for 3 months and 3weeks after first treatment. Conclusion: The prognosis of cervical cancer patients with brain metastases is frequently poor with median survival of only a few months such as in this case who survived 3 months and 3 weeks after first treatment. Only few reports have incidences of long-term, disease-free survival in these patients.
